10. Criminal Convictions

The appointment of staff who may have contact with, or access to children or vulnerable adults will be subject to the receipt of a satisfactory PVG Check from Disclosure Scotland. However, a conviction for an offence which is not relevant to the protection of children may not preclude the appointment of an applicant who is otherwise qualified for the post.

Applicants who have a conviction for a criminal offence must declare it in a letter addressed to the Principal and placed in a separate envelope marked “Private and Confidential” and enclosed with this application. This will only be seen by the Principal and then destroyed. In deciding whether a conviction is relevant, the Principal will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago and at what age it was committed and any other relevant factors, such as whether or not there has been a pattern of offending.

The Principal is unlikely to consider a person suitable for employment in the School if that person has been found guilty of a serious offence involving violence or dishonesty, any sexual offence, any offence involving Class A drugs or the supply of any other illegal drug, or any violent offence against children.

Please make the following declaration and type 'X' in the appropriate box.

I have read the statement about Criminal Convictions and I hereby declare that:

I have nothing to declare

I have information to declare and I have attached a sealed envelope containing details

11. Asylum & Immigration Act 1996

Employers have a duty to prevent illegal working in the UK by carrying out document checks on individuals before employing them. The successful applicant, or short-listed applicants, will be required to produce, original, acceptable documents evidencing their right to work in the UK.

12. Declaration

I understand that any offer of a Fellowship will be subject to the information on this application form being complete and correct. I authorise the Governors of George Watson’s College or any person acting on their behalf to make any checks which may be necessary in relation to the post I have applied for. False information, or a failure to supply the details required in this application form could make an offer of employment invalid or lead to termination of employment.

I agree that personal data relating to me which has been or is obtained by the School, including personal data given by me on this form, may be held and processed either on a computer or in manual records and may be disclosed to authorised employees of the School or agencies acting on behalf of the School and used for any purpose relating to my application and prospective recruitment and employment within the School. I understand that information from the recruitment process will be held for six months after which all records, except for those of the successful candidate, will be destroyed.
